Garrett Brown’s zodiac sign is Aries. According to astrologers, the presence of Aries always marks the beginning of something energetic and turbulent. They are continuously looking for dynamic, speed and competition, always being the first in everything - from work to social gatherings. Thanks to its ruling planet Mars and the fact it belongs to the element of Fire (just like Leo and Sagittarius), Aries is one of the most active zodiac signs. It is in their nature to take action, sometimes before they think about it well.
Garrett Brown was born in the Year of the Horse. Those born under the Chinese Zodiac sign of the Horse love to roam free. They’re energetic, self-reliant, money-wise, and they enjoy traveling, love and intimacy. They’re great at seducing, sharp-witted, impatient and sometimes seen as a drifter.

Garrett Brown invented the Oscar-winning Steadicam camera stabilizer and used it to shoot over a hundred movies beginning with Rocky (1976). He holds 50 patents worldwide for camera devices including: Steadicam JR for camcorders; Skycam, which flies on wires over sporting events: and Mobycam, the underwater camera that chases the swimmers at the Olympics.
These were recently joined by the vertiginous, Emmy-award-winning Divecam and the ultra-light aerial film camera called SuperFlyCam. Garrett has recorded for MGM as a folksinger, made TV commercials, shot films for Sesame Street (1969), and was the other half of the ad-lib duo on the popular Molson and American Express radio commercials.
He is a member of the American Society of Cinematographers, the Directors Guild, the Screen Actors Guild and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. His popular lecture on "The Moving Camera" has been seen at film festivals and schools, including the Media Lab at MIT.
